Fushigi Yuu Yuu Hakusho

Ending Theme: Daydream Generation

[During the instrumental beginning, we slowly pan in on a scroll on which are depicted Keiko at the bottom, Tamahome at the left (her right) and behind her, Yuusuke in a similar position on the right, and Suzaku in phoenix form behind and above them all. Then rapidly cut from one face to another (in the order given above); each face, in the close-up, is the cel-art version of the scroll's drawing]
 
*Mabuta no ura ni*
 
[Keiko, in the blouse and jeans she was wearing when she first entered the Universe of the Four Gods, walks from the left side of the screen to about the center, There seems to be some sort of infinite mirror thing going on, because to her left (behind her, from the watcher's point of view) an infinite number of Keikos are paralleling her movements]
 
*akogare dake*
 
[As she comes to the middle of the screen, all the other Keikos vanish. She stops and inclines her head slowly]
 
*Ukabete nemuru*
 
[Her clothes slowly blur from the Ningenkai outfit to the formal robes of Suzaku no Miko, as she turns towards the camera]
 
*kisetsu ni Good-bye*
 
[Keiko fades out as a bust shot (HEAD style bust, you know!) of her fades in in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, still in formal outfitting with her hair done up thus.  She's looking down slightly and smiling]
 
*Tooku kirameku yasashisa yori*
 
[Cut to Tamahome, sitting in Keiko's room at the palace, looking through the wallet Keiko has handed her. She pulls a small photograph out, gazing at it curiously]
 
*Tada hitotsu wagamama ga hoshii*
 
[The camera angle swings around to narrow in on the photograph, which we see to be of a short-haired Keiko sitting on a low rock near a riverbank and Yuusuke, hair down, standing next to her (as seen in the YYH "Sayonara Bye Bye" ED when the title phrase is sung for the second time)]
 
*Tsumetai GARASU no machi o kugurinukete*
 
[Again cut to a city made of tall glass towers, dim now under clouds. From its gates, a troop of dispirited figures emerge who prove to be the Urameshi Team]
 
*Sono te ni furetai*
 
[Rapidly zoom in on the four guys. The background around them changes to Genkai's temple as they walk into the main room. Botan looks up at them hopefully; they shake their heads in negation]
 
*kimochi tashikametai*
 
[Botan droops as Shizuru keeps reading The Book and Yuusuke moves to look over her shoulder]
 
*Me o akete miru yume dake
Tsuyoku dakishimete iru yo*
 
[Pan slowly in on Keiko, slumped over a table by the window of her apartments. The window is wide open, showing the gardens and pond outside]
 
*Kaze ga fuite ame ga futte*
 
[And then the scene outside suddenly changes to the grounds of Genkai's temple. Keiko's head jerks up in surprise as Botan, Yuusuke, Yukina, and Kuwabara run past.]
 
*Kokoro wa yurete mo*
 
[Keiko stares and then vaults out the window. The camera pans in further, losing the Kounanite frame, as she is pulled into a group hug]
 
*Me o akete miru yume nara*
 
[As the camera begins to pan back, the hugging group staying at the bottom of the screen, Hiei, Kurama, and Shizuru run on, apparently drawn by the happy noises.  Botan exchanges a meaningful glance with the latter two --]
 
*Ima wa kizutsuite mo ii*
 
[-- who firmly grab one of Hiei's arms each and add themselves to the hug. (Hiei looks startled.)]
 
*Kono sora ga katte-na hodo*
 
[The camera angle swings around , still keeping the hug as the focus of the lower part of the screen, to show the temple behind them. Atsuko and Koenma are seated (sprawled, in Atsuko's case) on the engawa, watching them]
 
*Sunao ni nareru yo!
Me o akete miru yume nara*
 
[Atsuko knocks back a slug of sake, light gleaming off her artificial right hand, and, as the music very obviously cuts to more refrain, offers the bottle to Koenma, who waves it away]
 
*Ima wa kizutsuite mo ii*
 
[The group hug, which is now rocking back and forth, as those things tend to do, suddenly loses coherence, everyone falling on their behinds]
 
*Kono sora ga katte-na hodo
Sunao ni nareru yo!*
 
[Everyone looks at each other, and then starts laughing. They are still laughing as the music slowly fades out]
[Fade, with the music, to black]
